It was recently reported by the AMLC that the POEA has not referred any suspected money laundering cases to the AMLC. I would like to know the policy/documents that the POEA follows in relation to forwarding complaints/cases to the AMLC. Given that RA 9160 specifically states that violations of RA 8042 are predicate offenses in relation to money laundering crimes, I would like to understand why the POEA has never forwarded any cases to the AMLC. Especially because a review of documents and complaints records from OFWs in Taiwan and Hong Kong SAR shows that they asked POEA to forward to AMLC
